you will find that most of the material below has been posted in detail with numerous links on this web site – posted at the time of the events.

I have also seen many of the documents concerned and named and published them. I have also seen and hold copies of most, if not all of, the text messages listed in this full article.

I was too pretty for politics: Caught up in a sex assault case with a married MP and accused of being Farage’s mistress. But UKIP’s scandal-hit Femme Fatale claims it was really her looks that held her back

Annabelle Fuller was the most colourful woman in British politics

She was accused of being the former mistress of Ukip leader Nigel Farage

If you’re determined to keep a low profile after a noxious tide of bad publicity, then it might seem ill-advised to change your name to ‘Trixy Sanderson’, dye your hair peroxide blonde – and complete the effect with a visible tattoo.

But then Annabelle Fuller certainly needed drastic action of some sort because, for a while at least, she was the most colourful – if not the most notorious – woman in British politics.

First, there was the extraordinary accusation on the floor of the European Parliament that she was the former mistress of Ukip leader Nigel Farage.

Then there was the devastating spat with married Tory MP Andrew Bridgen, who was accused of touching her inappropriately during an evening that ended with her fleeing his apartment in tears.

She was then investigated by police for concocting the entire episode. His marriage has since broken up.

The investigation dragged on for two agonising years, during which time she has been effectively barred from answering the damaging allegations. But today, she is finally free to speak after police decided to take ‘no further action’ in the case – and, truly furious, she is making up for lost time.

This is not just because of the ‘disgraceful’ behaviour of the police who brought an assault case against Bridgen firmly against her wishes, and then investigated her for making false claims against him even though she wanted nothing to do with the case in the first place.

It didn’t help her mood to learn that the investigation was prompted by the word of a convicted fraudster.

In her first, explosive, talk since her life was put on hold with the Bridgen allegations, she also sets the record straight on the supposed romance with 51-year-old Farage: it never happened, she says, because he hasn’t got the muscles for it.

But most of all she wants to make it clear that she has been singled out for the sort of attention and criticism that no man in politics would ever have to put up with, criticism that has driven her to attempt suicide twice.

‘Politics very nearly killed me,’ she says. ‘A combination of resolve and a supportive family brought me back from the brink – that and the NHS, of course.

‘I was never arrested or charged with anything, yet I have lived a life of utter misery, too scared to open my front door. I thought of having to go to trial and then to prison simply for running away from an apartment.

‘If it had gone to court with no evidence I would have known it was a stitch-up. If there hadn’t been an MP involved, the case wouldn’t have gone so far. They were scared of the political system.

‘I wouldn’t rely on the police to solve any crime and now believe that any one of us is just one false accusation away from a nightmare.

‘I don’t want to be a politician. I don’t even want to be a councillor. I don’t see the appeal at all.

‘Everyone pokes into your life. I’m speaking now because I don’t want people to think I’m some sort of criminal. The only thing I was guilty of was drinking too much and going back to a stranger’s flat.’

We meet in the two-bedroom cottage in Wiltshire she now shares with her three tortoiseshell cats.

They pad around endless piles of stuff that litter every surface. The white Laura Ashley coffee table groans with paperwork from the police, ashtrays, a cat brush – evidence, perhaps, of a life thrown into chaos.

Well-educated and likeable in person, the 34-year-old first came to public notice in 2008 when she worked as press officer for Ukip after defecting from the Conservatives.

Rumours of an affair with Farage started circulating as early as 2006, but she says it only dawned on her she might have enemies when she began receiving crank calls in which she was called a ‘whore’.

Annabelle says these were mostly born out of colleagues’ jealousy over her looks and success.

‘People were jealous that Nigel paid attention to a twentysomething woman and that he took my advice,’ she says. ‘They just said, “Oh, they must be having an affair”.

‘Politics – like being an au pair – is harder for pretty people because it makes rumours easier to believe. I did feel like women were jealous of me.

‘I certainly had some colleagues within Ukip who were bitter. They used to make snide remarks. Y’know, “How have you had time to put make-up on in the morning?”.

‘Politics is a man’s world and a man’s game. Women are treated differently. They’re set higher standards, they have to do more academically.

‘There’s still this misogynistic attitude that if you’re a woman in politics, then it’s acceptable for people to attack your private life and the way you look and dress.

Nigel Farage refuses to discuss employing his former ‘mistress’

Accusation: Police said former Ukip researcher Jasna Badzak (pictured) had told them Annabelle had confessed to fabricating the Bridgen episode

‘No one called Andrew Bridgen fat, did they? They did to me. You soon realise that as a girl you are fair game, an easy target.’

Farage and Annabelle have both denied there was any affair, but Westminster rumours persist. And then there’s the small matter of Farage’s wife Kirsten, who threatened to ‘have security drag Annabelle out by her hair’ unless she left a party to celebrate Ukip’s European election victory in 2014.

Pressed for the absolute truth, Annabelle says today: ‘I did not have an affair with Nigel Farage.

‘That rumour, started by bored tedious people – possibly within Ukip – is almost like an urban legend.

‘I go for hunky army types, which Nigel is not. He’s a nice person but he’s just not my type: he doesn’t have muscles – and he’s not single. His sons are my age. I admire him an awful lot. He’s incredibly brave and strong and determined.’

It wasn’t until the Andrew Bridgen incident in 2011 that Annabelle’s life began to really unravel, however.

The facts of what happened that night remain blurred.

Annabelle says she felt a hand on her leg – but can’t be sure – while she, Bridgen and civil servant Edward Green were smoking on Bridgen’s balcony after he invited them back to his London flat following a drinking session.

Bridgen strongly denies this happened and she herself admits she might well have over-reacted.

What is clear is that Annabelle was genuinely alarmed. ‘I didn’t know where the hell I was. I didn’t know these people. I felt they could take advantage of me,’ she says.

‘I should have gone home that night. Really, if I could change one thing in my life I would have gone home.’

She maintains that the building’s security guard called the police after seeing her fleeing from Bridgen’s flat with a gashed forehead and lip – the result of running into a wall.

At Charing Cross Police Station in Central London, she had to hand over the bottom half of her clothes and make a statement.

‘I was thinking why on earth did I start down this chain of events. I wasn’t in a fit state to give a statement. I was drunk and scared.’

In her view it is yet another example of the police mishandling a claim – or in this case a non-claim – of sexual abuse. Later that day she was woken up by the police to say that Bridgen had been arrested.

‘I said I didn’t want to press charges. They said they could go through with it without my co-operation because I’d given a statement. It was really quite intimidating.

‘I think questions have to be raised about them taking a statement from someone who was drunk. I didn’t know I was giving a statement and had I known, I would have said no.’

Details soon emerged in public. ‘I think Mr Bridgen should have kept his anonymity. I felt sorry for him at that point,’ she says.

The police dropped the charges a few days later, but the damage was done. ‘Bridgen threatened to sue me and accused me of breaking up his marriage. I find it astonishing. You invite a young girl back to your flat, you take some responsibility.’

But two years later Annabelle was thrust into the political spotlight once more – and this time with such devastating force that she was driven to think of emigrating and, on two occasions, suicide.

In March 2014, in a bombshell moment, former Ukip MEP Nikki Sinclaire asked Farage in the European Parliament if he thought it a fair use of taxpayers’ money to employ his wife Kirsten and his ‘former mistress’ Annabelle Fuller.

‘I got a taxi to my parents’ house in Surrey and sat under their dining room table because it was the only place that couldn’t be seen from the window,’ Annabelle says.

‘The consequences of those few words… I couldn’t even have lunch with a male colleague without people thinking, “I wonder if.” ’

A month after Ms Sinclaire issued her extraordinary statement, Annabelle was told that she was being investigated by police for making false accusations.

Police informed her that former Ukip researcher Jasna Badzak, who in 2013 was convicted of forgery and fraud against her boss Gerard Batten (she is appealing against the conviction), had told them Annabelle had confessed to fabricating the Bridgen episode.

‘I’d never heard of Bridgen in my life before meeting him and had only met Jasna twice. What she was saying was totally false. The police told me they had to tick every single box because it involved an MP.’

Her phone records were pored over and in January 2015 four people, including Farage, were interviewed by police.

Such was the emotional impact on Annabelle that she quit her job as Farage’s personal communications officer and changed her name to Beatrice ‘Trixy’ Sanderson.

She dyed her hair peroxide blonde. She even considered emigrating to Australia. More distressingly, she made two suicide attempts – the second of which in September last year saw her hooked up to a life- saving drip.

After being cleared by police Annabelle says she felt ‘reborn’ and spent Christmas in Mauritius with girlfriends before getting what she calls her ‘I’m free’ tattoo on her foot.

Today she is back to brunette and intent on rebuilding her life. But she is full of anger. Perhaps unwisely, she has resumed working for Ukip and is helping MEPs Jane Collins and Mike Hookem. ‘I don’t want to go back to Annabelle Fuller,’ she says.

‘She was more happy-go-lucky but more naive. Trixy Sanderson is someone just trying to be a nobody.’

Below you will find an article freely written by Jasna Badzak and supplied to this web site.

Jasna Badzak accepts full responsibility for the information she has supplied however I am happy to confirm that I believe her material to be accurate being in line with my own experiences of the lies and foul mouthed abuse of Annabelle Fuller and the liar and general low life racist Gerard Batten, not to mention the dishonesty, squabbling and back stabbing of the undeniably dishonest and corrupt leadership team of Ukip, which I have been publishing in detail over many years on this web site and elsewhere.

Fuller’s pack of lies

I met Annabelle Fuller, now known as Trixie (possibly for all kind of tricks!) Sanderson mid February 2011, shortly after I fell out with Batten over his racist’s idiocy with UKIP Immigration – Action Overdue, Muslim Charter and final breaking point after he tricked me to attend the meeting with bunch of Christian Concern, BNP, EDL extremists on false pretences that he wanted me to meet “his friend who was also a refugee’ who turned out to be a notorious anti-Muslim hate preacher Sam Solomon, which happened after legitimate pre-arranged meeting I organised with Mark Stephens, Julian Assange’s lawyer at that time, on 10 February 2011 (emails and written evidence exists). I met Fuller at 32 Smith’s Square (the old Tory Party HQ) in the European Union building, where the EFD group that UKIP belonged to, had a small office, where Nigel Farage, Gawain Towler, Damian Wilson were based as well as Fuller and I.

When I first met Annabelle she was, surprisingly extremely friendly to me saying that she knew me from before, from the launch of UKIP General election campaign, that we met there, smoked together that I could not recall. I first heard about Fuller by the end of November 2010, after Batten asked me to put in the newspapers story about alleged Farage’s affair with the woman named Annabelle Fuller, because he wanted, in his on words ‘to destroy Nigel’s marriage’.

I was never researcher and I never researched anything for any UKIP MEP or even UKIP itself, as I was falsely represented in the Mail on Sunday. I was UKIP’s press officer, based on my journalistic background, where Nigel Farage asked me to help UKIP post General Election 2010, where I, as opposed to other UKIP candidates had all positive media coverage, was in media and was stopping UKIP’s candidates’ media stupidities (monitoring buffoonery of Paul Wiffen and few other UKIP candidates as well as coaching some of them). Nigel specifically asked me to monitor Batten and help him get any positive media coverage and stop him making ‘comments that could sink UKIP’. I failed miserably in that role, as Batten is simply impossible to work with, paranoid, obsessed with hatred and impossible to reason with, which was subsequently been proven in the media with his various. persistent racism to explicit threats to journalists who even attempted to uncover his massive fraud.

I flatly refused Batten’s request, not out of some deranged loyalty to Nigel, but I was never in the business of breaking up the families, especially where children were involved, and frankly could never give a toss who is sleeping with who. I never published those seedy stories and simply don’t care about those types of journalistic trash. I immediately called Nigel, who was busy with something so Steve Crowther called me back, asking what was going on. I told Steve that I needed to talk to Nigel, that matter was private and not for his ears. Nigel called me some 5 minutes later and when I told him he was furious, threatening to sue Batten and he told me that someone was forever been trying to put that story in the press. I tried calming Nigel down telling him I had absolutely no intention of doing it and will stop Batten even if I catch him trying with his sole contacts in Express with Anil Dawar or RT, Putin’s propaganda machine.

When I finally met Fuller in February 2011, she was exceptionally friendly towards me, frenetically saying how I was a great person, someone she could work with, pleased to see me etc. which gave me inclination to keep that woman close but also feeling that she could be either very unstable or worse. We immediately exchanged phone numbers, email addresses and remained in constant, daily contacts until September 2011, long after I left UKIP 30 April 2011. My initial reservations towards Fuller became true very soon, as she was constantly plotting ‘revenges’, trying to set up various MEPs (DCB and Trevor Coleman in particular) and as evidence I have hundreds of emails and texts on my Blackberry phone which is securely stored, disconnected and out of UKIP reach. I have attached just a few of them to this statement. I regularly spoke to Annabelle, worked with her, had lunches, coffees, cigarettes on the roof of the EU building; easily disapprove her blatant lies to the Mail on Sunday claiming we had only met twice!

Annabelle Fuller’s interview with the Mail on Sunday is easily proven to be a ridiculous fabrication, on her part, on many counts.

After I left UKIP, fed up with constant fraud that all UKIP MEPs were apparently involved in and Batten’s blatant racism, I reported Batten to the Metropolitan Police, for inciting racial and religious hatred contrary to S5 of the Public Order Act, via my local police force, Harrow Road Ward Safer Neighboourhood Team, based on his Charter of Muslim Understanding, UKIP Immigration – Action Overdue, questions to European Parliament regarding his imaginary Bilderberg Jewish Conspiracy, handwritten notes and proposal for Dismantling Multiculturalism, his Binding Code of Conduct for Muslims and Jews, as well as interview he gave where he compares Muslims to barbarians who live in 6th century and saying that reformer of Islam was Bin Laden.

In May 2011 I submitted a detailed, documented fraud report against all UKIP MEPs except Mike Nattrass, their admissions, documents proving thefts, payments to UKIP regional organisers, payments for UKIP offices, mortgage payments for Bloom’s house, employment of family members, fake employees, where money was split, paying with EU staff expenses employees in MEPs private companies, purchase of the car and insurance of the car, Marta Andreassen’s residency status, Cayman Island’s offshore accounts, priority farming and wind turbine subsidies, as well as role of UKIP’s employee in Brussels Kamila Zarychta who through her contacts in the EU payment office was illegally signing in her ex boyfriend Paul Nuttall, John Bufton who had suffered a consequential stroke and Gerard Batten, for times where none of them were appearing in Brussels and were collecting daily subsistnence allowances.

I also reported Paul Wiffen after seeing on his laptop (after Annabelle Fuller told me) in the editing suite two disturbing child pornography images (one of young maybe 2 years old blonde girl with huge blue eyes naked where hairy male hand is fondling in the area where her breasts would be, and small baby, black skinned where same hairy male hand was touching genitals)

On 31 May 2011 in the evening I suffered severe palpitations and next morning around 7 am I suffered a severe heart attack where my tropomin levels reached 4.7. I never had any heart issues, did not have any risk factors (no cholesterol, no triglycerides, no family history), fit and healthy and only 39 years old! Only previous instance where I suffered palpitations was after meeting at the Christian Concern on 10 February 2011 as I was trembling, furious and shouting on the phone (phone records exist) to Nigel Farage about latest and for me last idiocy Batten did, which is when I stopped going to Batten’s office and refused to help Batten with anything, keeping all conversation to the bare minimum and relative to my usual behaviour, quite rude. (Texts and emails exist).

After the heart attack Annabelle called me every day to ask how I was (while Batten was busy hacking into my Facebook saying how my heart attack was caused by my Resident’s Association and not him, which is the way my son and my step children found out I had heart attack as I was still in hospital attached to oxygen, measuring devices and receiving urgent medications to stabilise my heart. He went as far as sifting through people on my Facebook friends list and in really bad colloquial, Serbo-Croat sent to three acquaintances, not friends how I suffered bad heart attack, how I am feeling bad, alarming those people to ask me why am I contacting them to discuss my health issues and why am I using that regional accent that did not belong to the area where I was born and which I used).

Fuller even visited me at my home, after she had tried to arrange lunch and I was still too unwell to attend.

Few days later she convinced me to start Employment proceedings against Batten, guided me how to fill the forms, telling me which forms to use (texts and emails exist) and even forcing Steve Crowther to force Batten to quickly settle the case for the suffering he caused me.

FALSE ACCUSATIONS
AGAINST ANDREW BRIDGEN MP

Annabelle called me on 09 June 2011, in the morning to ask me how am I, and then she asked if I watched the news. I told her I read BBC teletext as I do every morning until this day, as I don’t have a patience to watch badly edited and presented news, as a former news editor!

She asked me if I seen Tory MP was arrested and I replied I did, it was the very first news on teletext. Then she asked me do I know who is that MP. I replied, No I don’t know. She told me Andrew Bridgen (name that did not mean anything to me despite the fact I was for considerable time in the Conservative Party, as I did not know every backbencher). She told me ‘I have his phone’.

Then we talked about her forthcoming Ascot Ladies Day attendance and she was asking for my fashion advice. She told me that she planned to wear white dress and was not sure whether to pair it with red hat or white. I told her that red hat would clash with white badly and that white hat has to have some pastel colours otherwise she would look like a bride. (Police have a record of that call, and as they were searching for the records of calls between Annabelle and I, they found two phone calls she made to Nigel Farage from Bridgen’s bathroom before she fled stealing his House of Commons issued Blackberry and HoC pass (and items of confidential correspondence – as she later publicly admitted!).

On 15 June she attended Ascot and sent me photo, calling me to say how right I was and how everybody was complimenting her on her looks.

All that time Fuller behaved her usual self, completely normal, cheerful. On 27 June we chatted on Facebook, (I am attaching that chat) she was in Morocco, when she told me how miserable she was preoccupied with some things and sent me link to the Mirror interview she had given.

In that interview she told how she was the one assaulted sexually by same Andrew Bridgen MP, how she was broken woman, unable to leave her home, without her parents, like a scared child, how her life was destroyed.

My initial reaction was ‘Are you OK? How are you feeling? OMG’ a couple of minutes later it dawned on me:

All this time when she claimed she was miserable, depressed, unable to leave her home, she was in reality in touch with me, was behaving normally, was cheerful, went to Ascot without her parents (see the photos placed on Ukip-vsEUkip.com posted at the time!), she never said a thing.

I immediately called her and asked what on Earth happened, I was in touch with you regularly (texts, emails and calls exist) and you never said a word except the name of Tory MP who was arrested.

I asked her, ‘Annabelle what happened?’

She replied ‘Nothing happened’.

I asked ‘What do you mean nothing?’

Her replied shocked me to the core. She said she was out, drinking and smoking in front of pub in Westminster, met Bridgen and his advisor (later it turned out it was Edward Green, Civil Servant not adviser!), they ran out of cigarettes, jumped in the cab together, went to petrol station to buy cigarettes and cab dropped them off at Trafalgar Square.

There, she said, she asked Bridgen to use his bathroom, and all three of them went to his flat in Admiralty Arch.

She went to the bathroom while Green and Bridgen went for a glass of wine and cigarette on the balcony.

As she left the bathroom she saw Bridgen’s phone and House of Commons pass on his bed and ran out.

As she was running away she slipped and hit her head on the glass door, alerting building security. The building Security Guard approached asking her what was she doing in the building and she told him she was in Bridgen’s flat and was attacked there, almost raped!

Throughout the conversation I kept asking her did he touch you, did he attack you? And she kept saying ‘No, but I had to say something to the little fucker, I am not gonna go down over his phone, is he flipping?’

Then she became excited saying ‘Oh, you should see what gems I found on the phone. Messages from Cameron and so on! I am going to download it, we will use it, it is brilliant’.

I kept asking her, several more times. if he attacked her (meaning Bridgen) and she kept saying ‘NO, NO, are you mad? I had to say something to little fucker to get him off my back’.

I was shocked that anyone in the World would be capable of doing such a thing and told her ‘Are you fucking crazy? How can you accuse someone of that?’ which is unusual for me to use swear words. I put the phone down completely shocked.

Several days later, I am not quite sure either on 07 or 08 July 2011 (I remember it was a couple of days before my son’s birthday on the 10th. July) I reported it, to my local police who came to my home to take her photo, her FB messages and my brief statement.

On 06 October, after trying to postpone hearings and responses, Batten somehow managed to arrange CMD at the Employment tribunal.

I was not even informed and by pure accident I called Tribunal on 05th to ask when the Hearing would happen, only to be told that I was to have the hearing the next day!

At that time I had a barrister representing me and Batten appeared with Paul Diamond (another notorious racist, google him!) and his chief witness Pavel Stroilov, the man I met only once for a minute in front of old Horseferry Magistrates Court, where the Assange proceedings were happening.

I barely recognised him as he was not in his usual cape and cylinder but in suit. Only when Diamond said that was Batten’s chief witness ‘Russian dissident’ Pavel Stroilov, I began wondering what can he testify to, if I only met him once for a minute to stop him and Batten mumbling about ‘dirty Arabs’ in public, as had it been overheard by a journalsit it would have been very damaging for Ukip.

ThePresiding Judge at my hearing was Linda Goldman, who later on turned out to be a Barrister working in the same Chamber as Matt Richardson, UKIP’s legal advisor!

Batten started out by lying, claiming that I had never worked with him, how he never did anything wrong, my Barrister pointed out that Batten was in fact under police investigation for racism and fraud, as well as under OLAF investigation for fraud against The European Parliament, and then Paul Diamond, asked for ) reporting restrictions, based on Article 8 of Human Rights Act protection of the family (this later turned out to be illegal and was dismissed).

Goldman however granted it immediately, asking Batten how long did he want it.

Batten replied as long as it protected him until he had secured his re-election.

I was angry with my Barrister for not challenging ‘the illegal reporting restrictions’ that should only have been granted in cases of sexual harassment or disability harassment but not in the case of racial and religious harassment, under the terms of The Equality Act 2010 and constructive dismissal.

As we were leaving Batten said to Diamond “I will report her for crime too”.

On the way back, my ex-husband who drove me to and fro Court, as at point I was very weak and unwell awaiting heart surgery that subsequently happened on 24 October 2011, urged me to call Nigel, which I did.

I spoke to Nigel on car’s speakerphone and those in the car heard the entire conversation.

I told Nigel that Batten was being idiot, lying claiming that I never worked there, how Batten was under both police and OLAF investigation. Nigel said it was about time OLAF investigated the Fucking BT Salesman (how Nigel always referred to and called Batten) as he had been stealing uncovered for far too long.

I told Nigel “You must come as a witness that I worked there and I reported Batten’s unbelievable racist, harassing, obnoxious behavior towards me” (I have text messages with Nigel and Annabelle discussing Batten’s vile behavior).

Nigel’s response was that he can’t testify against his own MEP as that would destroy his Parliamentary Group. I told Nigel he must do the right thing for once as Batten had destroyed my health, but Nigel kept repeating how he can’t testify against his MEP and about how fragile his EU Parliament Group was!

I furiously put the phone down on him in contempt at his dishonesty; however I was confident that I had all written evidence against Batten that was needed.

A few days later I was contacted by a Policeman named Reardon to tell me that they looked at Batten’s publications, especially The Muslim Charter, and everything I highlighted in his other racist documents and could not find anything racist (later on when that same Charter appeared on front pages of various leading newspapers The Charter was condemned as a Nazi style document and caused national outrage).

A few days before my surgery I was again contacted by Reardon and officer Galvin who came to my home saying fraud report I produced was too complex for them and it would be the best way if EU Parliament investigated it as they did not understand it or the procedures completely, they did not have resources to investigate fully, as it was complex!

I told them that OLAF was investigating and that OLAF had contacted me (someone else possibly from the police contacted OLAF) and Reardon and Galvin took details how to contact OLAF and promised that they will cooperate with them.

OLAF then asked me to send all documentary evidence to them, which I did. Several OLAF investigators were involved but the main one was Neil Ritchie.

I had my surgery on 24 October 2011, in my good old fashion refused full anesthetics, immediately discharged myself from St Mary’s Hospital and came home for recovery, under strict cardiologist order to take it very easy, not to get upset at all as raised adrenaline would risk causing damage to my heart, as it had in the first place!

I was given to understand that during the procedure they had had to burn additional electrical pathways in my heart, that were created through stress caused by adrenaline hits. They also checked my arteries via angiogram that prove that all arteries were clear, elastic and in excellent condition, without single deposit.

I had a deadline to submit all evidence against Batten by 30 November 2011. On the 29th November as I was slowly copying documentary evidence in 4 copies for 3 Tribunal members and defendant Batten, I ran out of the cartridge on my all in one copy, scan, printer and called my ex-husband, as I was unable to leave my home, still with wounds from deep cuts in my groin area, from the introduction of the angiogram, I asked if he could buy me some (I remained on very good and friendly terms with my ex husband).

Around 11 am someone knocked on my door and when I opened they told me they were police officers, 4 of them, 3 were male and I recognised Galvin and Reardon, the third male officer was called Stoppard and female officer was introduced as Else.

Since at that time I was almost 10 years member of the Westminster Police Community Consultative Group many police officers, especially senior ranks would, whenever they were in my area, pop around to my place for cup of tea and to discuss happenings.

I thought this group came for the same reason and that Galvin and Reardon maybe had more information about still live fraud case, the child pornography case or the Bridgen investigation. I let them in, without even glancing at their warrants, apologised that I was in loose pajamas, that I had to walk slowly due to being cut post surgery and asked them who wanted tea or coffee.

I went to my kitchen while they proceeded to my living room.

One of them Galvin, started saying I am under arrest, and I took it as a joke, as many police officers, prior to him, especially jokester, now Superintendent last time I spoke to him, Andy Howe, used to do joke like that.

I kept saying to Galvin, “Hold your horses, tea and coffee are coming, I can’t do it any faster”.

He continued saying “you are under arrest”, while I was preparing cups, tea bags and sugar.

As he continued with his “you are under arrest mantra”, I came to living room before I had poured water from the boiled kettle, asking him, jokingly “what did I do?”.

He said “You defrauded European Parliament”.

I replied to him “Are you insane, how can I defraud some institution that I had never had access to and had never been to”.

Galvin said “I am arresting you for fraud against European Parliament”.

I asked “what do you mean, who could have reported such stupidity”.

Galvin replied “Mr Batten”.

Then it dawned on me that Batten was making up the stuff and they were gullibly and without checking actually doing his bidding!

I became very upset, as anyone completely innocent without even a parking ticket to their name would, I became very unwell, my blood pressure ‘spiked’ recording huge blood pressure and I became faint and was collapsing.

Reardon called ambulance and 4 medics arrived furious, left their names to testify against police behavior and took me immediately to St Mary’s.

By the time my ex husband had arrived, he found me on the couch, with 4 medics tending to me and the two of us left with ambulance. I can not at present speak anymore about this crime that was committed as there is live criminal investigation, but can only say that day I suffered ventricular atrophy and that I am only person I know of that has been convicted of the crime that didn’t exist and never did existed for which there is no plausible evidence or valid paper trail!

This whole criminal charade was seemingly over an attempt to silence me, causing me not only exceptional further health complications but severely affecting the whole of my family, especially my son who was witness to many late night visits by UKIP thugs with very explicit threats towards both of us and causing him unimaginable fear, and most probably a recently recorded violent crime.

Suddenly in March of 2014 I started to receive calls from Acting Superintendent Manning from OCU Westminster, Metropolitan Police who suddenly wanted to investigate all criminal complaints I made had made 3 years earlier in 2011.

Initially I refused to talk to him, telling him that after what your police officers did to me, I don’t have any trust left in the force, especially following lies to Prime Minister and Mayor of London and Court case where identical documents were described as “forgery” and other lies, which the Police knew, as Batten wrote in his police statement, last paragraph, which he submitted 7 months after I was arrested “I am reporting her for this crime because she is taking me to Court” (he did not even know what crime to invent, yet seven months later he showed clearly his malicious intent, in his own words in his own statement, that his sole reason for reporting me to the police was that I was taking him to Court!).

This incident reminded me of Batten’s comment to his Barrister as they were leaving the court!

Manning persisted and called me almost every day.

At that point I remembered after everything I went through (full heart failure, multiple shock caused paralysis, constant admissions to hospital, uncontrollable blood pressure, huge oedemas that made me look bloated in the horrible, untruthful articles in Daily Mail and Telegraph that were placed by Gawain Towler, over which I will be suing both papers for libel), that I never heard what happened regarding the false accusation’s and perverting course of Justice case relative to Andrew Bridgen MP.

I decided then to contact Bridgen, I called his office & said to his assistant that I urgently need to speak to him about the crime that was committed against him.

I left my number and he called me that afternoon. During our initial conversation, I asked him if police contacted him at all, he said sounding surprised NO, and then I told him if he could keep quiet and listen to what I had to say to him. I repeated to him exactly the story Annabelle Fuller told me.

He then asked me ‘How do you know that, all details? You were not there?”

I said Fuller told me and he confirmed that’s exactly as it happened and that I reported to the police. Suddenly Bridgen broke down and said in the trembling voice, I lost my marriage because of that, I don’t have any contact with my children because of that, and POLICE KNEW!

I told him that this Superintendent keeps calling me and wants to investigate it.

Bridgen asked me if I could check what was going on.

I arranged A meeting with Superintendent Manning on 24 March 2011. I met him there together with DS Worthington and recorded whole meeting, and told him anything I say or he says in the meeting is a public knowledge as I will not fall for police criminality again.

He agreed, and I have a recording of the full meeting that lasted over 1.5 hours.

I re-reported Batten’s incitement to racial and religious hatred, full set of UKIP fraud that at that time both were making headlines in broadsheets, proving once again I was never lying, Wiffen pornography, Bridgen’s case of false accusations and perverting the Course of Justice and one new crime that UKIP managed to commit in the time police were needlessly harassing me, wherea victim of their criminality approached me through my lawyer and gave a statement.

Manning really started investigating, passed fraud to the fraud unit, pornography to the Major Crime Unit and contacted Bridgen to finally take his statement.

DS Worthington took my statement, my Facebook messages with Fuller, and her Ascot photo that was taken mere 7 days after that ‘horrific attack that left Fuller unable to leave home without her parents’.

On 04 May 2014 I met with Manning again, who, to my surprise, was acting normally, as a proper police officer and in the presence of the broadcaster and journalist Lee Jasper I filed criminal complaint against Batten, the police officers involved in my harassment and conviction without any crime, as well as the Judge who turned out to be known to Batten!

Those investigations are still open and obviously therefore I cannot make comments, nor talk about it in any detail.

Coming back to police search to verify calls between Fuller and I and discovery of calls Fuller made with Farage, while she was in Bridgen’s bathroom, before she stole Bridgen’s House of Commons pass, his phone and his confidential correspondence.

Superintendent Manning came to take additional statement and to show evidence to Bridgen, as Bridgen described it he was shaking like a leaf. It was also confirmed that Bridgen’s Blackberry contained messages from the Prime Minster at the time of theft as it was a House of Commons issued phone, covered by the Official Secrets Act and only owner and person who stole it could have known about them!

Police also recovered sworn statement from Patrick O’Flynn, who at that time was with the Express, is now a UKIP MEP who stated that he introduced Fuller to Bridgen in front of the pub, where he too was, and told her he was MP.

At that point police had overwhelming evidence and brought in Fuller for questioning under caution.

During questioning she changed her story yet again – first she said to the building security guard she was assaulted, then retracted, then told Mirror she was assaulted, retracted it again and during interview she again changed her story saying she was assaulted by both Bridgen and civil servant Green, who is blind!

Police at Charring Cross also questioned Farage about the content of those phone calls, but it turned out, instead of properly questioning him, they were taking selfies with him!

The Case was sent to CPS and based on evidence available, which was watertight, including the public admission by Fuller that she had stolen the correspondence, phone and House of Commons Pass, everyone expected and police were confident Fuller would be charged with perverting the course of Justice and aggravated theft as she stole secure phone and pass to the British Parliament.

In the meantime, in May 2014 Batten was stalking me and then used his official papers, abusing his office to make further malicious accusations how I, who did not have any contact with him since I withdrew my Employment Tribunal case after Batten kept repeating how I was arrested and will be charged and when I caught CPS’s Simon Timothy Orme spying on my civil, Employment Tribunal case, where email was mistakenly sent with Cc instead of Bcc.

That’s another Batten’s lie.

He did not win the Employment Tribunal case, I withdrew the case to deal with his false accusations and further persistent harassment.

Batten kept stalking me, following my every step, even threatening organisers of anti-racism meeting that they will be reported to the police if I speak (he was rebuffed by their lawyers).

Batten’s false accusations are now known in full Judgment against him, where he and other suspects in the criminal investigation withdrew false charges against me, not to face my team of lawyers, Mr Michael Wolkind QC, Mr Stephen Vullo QC and leading solicitor Graham Atkins, known as a man who won the case against Arnold Schwarzenegger while he was Governor of California.

The crux of Batten’s false and malicious complaint was:

I was saying UKIP was racist, thus a fascist, criminal organisation

That The Sunday Times (name says it appears on Sunday) wrote an article about him on a Friday (which he obviously could not produce as it was blatantly dishonest – actually journalist who was threatened with arrest asked him why did he abuse his office and why did police officer abused their office to threaten him with arrest for wanting to write about Batten’s known EDL links and racism, Islamophobia and anti-Semitism?)

Why was I talking to Lee Jasper thus he implied it was a crime to talk to Lee Jasper?

I was actually questioned by Major Crime Unit DS Page about this malicious, false nonsense of Batten’s in Charring Cross Police station under caution, with laughter coming from my lawyer who could not believe the lies and nonsense.

Later on, after I re-tweeted the entirely truthful Lee Jasper’s blog after hundreds of people re-tweeted it, among them respected journalist Michael Crick, Louise Mensch, many lawyers, the Ukip-vs-EUkip.com web site and many public figures.

I was charged with harassing my stalker! It is wortyhy of note that Batten was always blocked on my Twitter, thus clearly Batten could not be personally harrassed by my Twitter!

Batten’s febrile case spectacularly collapsed as soon as my lawyers submitted seeking admission from all culprits, Batten, police officers and Judge to make admission of the crimes they committed or to come for questioning and be forced to admit, documentary provenence being to hand. The Batten case claimed against me was unequivically withdrawn!

Next time, they will be forced with subpoenas to admit or come to Court and be forced to admit their crimes that they committed, not just against me but against Criminal Justice System, through their joint criminal collusion, conspiracy to pervert the Justice and convict me of the crime that doesn’t exist.

UKIP, being endemically corrupt, is still pretending that Judgment doesn’t not exist and are still quoting Batten’s lies, committing further libels and slander.

Having seen that Batten’s lies initially worked, then Fuller also made the same bunch of lies how I am harassing her, although I have not spoken to her or had any contact with her since September 2011 and she dishonestly tried using police, reporting harassment to DS Gordon McKay, from Wood Green Police station, showing again that Fuller was not only harassing witness of her crime, which is exceptionally serious criminal offence, but lied in her Mail on Sunday interview how she lived in Surrey yet was reporting to Wood Green, from her home in Muswell Hill!

Gordon McKay it is recorded, is under criminal investigation and chose to leave Met as soon as investigation against him opened.

The rest of Fuller’s delusional lies are not even worth bothering to comment on, especially about her non-existent beauty, which is an insult to all women in politics!

One serious question remains to be asked and must be answered. Who in the CPS, was it the now notorious Simon Timothy Orme, who bizzarly chose not to charge Fuller, despite watertight evidence and thus certainty of conviction.

As for her guilt, in The Mail interview she confirmed it herself, she changed her story yet again, this time to ‘she does not remember whether Bridgen touched her or not, changing her name, thinking of fleeing the country …’ and her usual implausible attention seeking stories.

I have no reason to disbelieve any part of the statement above, as it so accurately dovetails into the many reports I have made on my own web site – reports backed with sourced quotations, links and documentary evidence including statements in the media.

I also believe her denials of an intimate relationship with Nigel Farage and Farage’s lame denials to be totally untrue – particularly in the light of factual details in which I have been involved and also the testimony of Godfrey Bloom, Farage’s flat mate and colleague in the EU; also Bloom’s comments to the ridiculous threat by Herman Kelly that ‘Ukip would sue any paper that published the facts’ when Bloom advised Kelly ‘not to be a fool as they would be laughed out of court on the existing evidence and it would bankrupt Ukip’an exchange witnessed by the media in a public restaurant in Brussels!

>GUEST POST by Louise Mensch:

Summarising The Vile Behaviour Of the Ukip MEP Gerard Batten in bullying and harrassing Jasna Badzak whom he would seem to have colluded with apparently corrupt police officers to persecute and abuse.

.

~~~~~~~~~~#########~~~~~~~~~~

.

Hi,

having been the target of the lies and distortions of Gerard Batten myself in the past, where by distorting the facts he colluded with, what seemed to be corrupt police, to try to have me arrested and prosecuted in clear abuse of his elected public office as a servant of the people.

I was in fact arrested and interrogated for around 3 hours based upon Gerard Batten’s corrupt dishonesty, mainly regarding his overt racism and publications seemingly designed to incite racial hatred, distrust and possible violence.

Fortunately the South Wales Police were less inclined to jump to his bidding and advised I had done no wrong and nno further action was possible on the part of the Met. Police who were working for Gerard Batten and Ukip and seemingly in cahoots in the corruption.

Having seen a copy of Jasna Badzak’s most recent arrest warrant/notification:

and being all too well aware of the corruption, bullying, lies and general abuse of office by Ukip, its leadership clique and its claque I regret I find all that Louise Mensch has had to say in her GUEST POST below, just as the Post by Lee Jasper in his original posting I found totally plausible and more than likely.

I believe Gerard Batten is beneath contempt and sadly he does little damage to Ukip for those who have a grasp of the shamefull standards of the low lifes who lead and in many cases exploit it for their personal gain and in keeping with their lack of ethics and integrity in persuit of racist aims, anti homosexual beliefs and willingness to lie with the aplombe of their leader Nigel Farage who would seem, like so many sociopaths, all too willing to preside over an utterly befouled organisation seemingly created in his own disgusting image.

Why Was Jasna Badzak Arrested for RTing a Critical Blog about UKIP?

She has a conviction for fraud (of a month’s salary and travel expenses) for the MEP for whom she used to work, Gerard Batten. She protests her innocence. She had no prior criminal record, had a high-level security clearance and was of good character as determined in court.

So far, so clear.

Ms. Badzak is also a cardiac patient.

On 4th November Ms. Badzak was arrested by a Detective Sergeant in the Major Crimes Unit at Westminster for the alleged crime of harassing Gerard Batten MEP. Despite her cardiac condition, the unusual decision was taken by the DS concerned to force her and her lawyer to attend the police station in person to be arrested.

He stated that this was done after consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service.

I understand that the criminal offence of “harassment” with which she was charged constitutes RTing a blog by the socialist former deputy Mayor of London Lee Jasper, and over an article allegedly published in the Sunday Times.

The blog contains Mr. Jasper’s impressions of Ms. Badzak’s various accusations against Batten and UKIP and how the police dealt with them. While I certainly cannot endorse all it contains (simply because I have no knowledge of various matters) Jasper is clear that he describes allegations, rather than facts. I read the blog carefully. It is more about alleged corruption in the Met than it is about Mr. Batten, whom it mentions in passing. Nowhere does the blog make threats towards Mr. Batten. Nowhere does it use racial or religious slurs against him. It is not in the league of actual online harassment against a politician such as that leveled against Stella Creasy MP or Luciana Berger MP.

Furthermore, the arresting officer has arrested, for harassment, ONLY Ms. Badzak. He has not contacted Lee Jasper, who wrote the blog, or Michael Crick of Channel Four News, who earlier RTed the blog. Mr. Crick called the DS in question and asked if he should present himself for arrest too, having also RTed the blog, and earlier than Ms. Badzak did. No reply was forthcoming. I have asked the arresting officer to explain what Major Crime has been committed; why Ms Badzak was required to attend in person given her medical condition; and which of his superiors in the Met knew the grounds on which Ms. Badzak was arrested.

I have obtained, as a journalist, some evidence of threats made by specific Metropolitan Police officers against other journalists – for clarity, not myself, Michael Crick, nor Lee Jasper (qua blogger), but a separate journalist.

As I believe that a great abuse of power is being committed here, and that there is evidence of deeply troubling and improper collusion between some officers of the Metropolitan Police Force and politicians to act against a private citizen, I shall be submitting the evidence I hold to the following people and bodies:

The Home Affairs Select Committee

The IPCC

Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe

and the Electoral Commission.

However, as the emails I have obtained appear to involve improper actions by police officers, there must be transparency. Complaining to police officers about police officers does not always, alas, produce the results one would wish.

Therefore I am now going to type out the exact content of the email sent to a journalist by a Met Police officer. I am leaving out everything that could identify any of the parties involved, including the date, the location, the names of the publications, the recipient, or the sender. But unredacted evidence will be sent to those parties I have identified above. The email was sent to a journalist at a national publication.

Dear Sirs

It has been brought to the attention of the Metropolitan Police, that in recent days journalist [sic] from [publication – redacted] and [publication – redacted] have been provided material by an unknown source about the political affairs of Mr. Gerard Batten MEP. An ex-employee of Mr. Batten’s has [redacted] been charged with numerous dishonesty offences [sic] and is currently awaiting trial at Southwark Crwon Court [sic]. Part of the bail conditions for this ex-employee is not to contact directly or indirectly Mr. Batten. This condition is in place to prevent any further publication of articles which the Courts have deemed to be untruthful and concerning to Mr. Batten.

Any articles published which are linked to the subject may result in further arrests being made. I request that while these ongoing Court proceedings are underway that you thoroughly check the sources of the information, prior to contacting either Mr. Batten or going to press.

regards

[signature of the officer. The officer lists themselves as being a “Financial Investigator”]

The journalist replies that they have attempted to contact the officer by phone but failed to reach them. I am omitting this in case it offers identifying information. The journalist’s reply goes on

I spoke to Gerard Batten about his alleged links to far-right groups such as [redacted].

I fail to see how this is relevant to a serving Met officer investigating financial crime. Why have you chosen to intervene in this matter on Batten’s behalf, copying him into our exchange on his private email address?

Most people would interpret it as an attempt to warn me off writing about Batten. This, I believe, is a potential abuse of office.

I’d be grateful if you could respond to the following questions by 7pm tonight:

Who asked you to contact me? Was it Batten or somebody else in your unit/team who knows Batten?

What is your relationship to Batten?

Are you a member or supporter of UKIP?

Are you a member or supporter of [redacted] or any other [redacted] organisation?

The reporter then signs off. I have also seen an email from the reporter to Mr. Batten.

….but I wanted to know why you asked [name of officer] at the Met Police to get in touch with me about something to do with a fraud case when I spoke to you [redacted] about something completely different, i.e. your relationship with [redacted] and [redacted]?

You’ll be familiar with this exchange as [name of officer] copied you in and stated my recent contact with you had been “brought to the attention of the Metropolitan Police” – clearly by you or someone in your office – and then went on to allege that I had been “provided material by an unknown source” without any proof of this. [name of officer] – a financial investigator – said it was all to do with your “political affairs”. So what’s it got to do with him? He even suggested I could be arrested if I published an article about you.

I’d be grateful for your explanation as I have some concerns about such an intervention by the police on behalf of a politician.

I am redacting the rest of the email, but there is nothing further substantive to it.

You will note that in both cases here, an officer unconnected to the appropriate department appears to be taking unwarranted actions against Ms. Badzak, and in favour of Mr. Batten. The one officer, whose emails I quote here, is a Financial Investigator writing about “the political affairs of Mr. Gerard Batten MEP”. The other officer, a different person, who required Ms. Badzak to attend in person for arrest on the charge of harassment for RTing the critical blog, is with the “Major Crimes Unit”. That officer’s response was to tell me to “go through channels” if I had questions for the Metropolitan Police. I do not have any questions for the Metropolitan Police (as of yet). I have questions for that specific officer. I told that officer so and I await that officer’s reply before escalating the complaint.

Lee Jasper’s blog is an extraordinary read. It is important to say that I have no idea what in it is truthful or not truthful, but there is one thing in his blog I do want to verify from evidence that I have in my own possession. Here I am quoting sections of his blog on the existence or otherwise (!) of two Metropolitan Police Officers. (I cannot verify that what he reports they did or didn’t do is accurate; he is reporting what Ms. Jadzak told him.)

All of her complaints were being handled by a Metropolitan Police Officer, one Detective Sargent Shaun Reardon. Despite repeated requests for updates on what was happening to her complaints she had no response from Reardon.

…..She reported this intimidation [LM- referred to earlier in LJ blog] to the Met and was surprised to find out that yet again these complaints were being refereed to a Detective Sargent Shaun Reardon, the very same officer who had failed to investigate her initial complaints of UKIP racism and EU fraud.

Worried about escalating violent intimidation and seeking to cope with her own failing health, Jasna then seeks a restraining order court injunction against Batten in Feb 2012.

Met officer supports UKIP.

Here’s where the begins to get interesting, MPS Detective James Galvin turns up at court, embraces Gerard Batten proceeds to tell the court that the MPS has no record of any allegations against Batten nor were there any current, active police investigation into him. That was a lie and, as the MPS has now admitted Galvin, had no authority to represent the Met or attend court. Her case was eventually dismissed as a result.

Gerard Batten, then formally wrote to the MPS on October 5th 2012 reporting his fraud allegations against Jasna. He actually wrote his allegation on UKIP letterhead, which must constitute and attempt to politically influence the investigation. The Met having failed to investigate any of Jasna serious previous allegations, then acted immediately upon receipt of Battens complaints. .

Jasna was subsequently arrested on 29th November 2011, when surprise, surprise, Detectives Constable James Galvin and Detective Sargent Shaun Reardon both, attended her home. They wanted to arrest her there and then, but she Jasna was so ill, it was decided to take her to hospital instead.

The Met formally denies the existence of two serving police officers misleading the Prime Minister David Cameron.

Subsequent to her eventual arrest and charging, Jasna wrote to the Met Commissioner Bernard Hogan Howe asking, why her many complaints to the MPS had not been investigated? This she pointed out, was in total contrast to the Mets swift and immediate response to Battens complaint.

This lead to another key question, why had DC Galvin had turned up at the injunction hearing, defending Batten?

The answer, when it came, was as shocking as it was unexpected. The Mets Department of Professional Standards informed her that the Metropolitan Police Service employed no such named police officers. Shocked and alarmed she persisted and again she was told again that no such officers were employed by the Met.

She then wrote to the Independent Police Compliant Commission who after some time, wrote back, confirming, that after discussions with the Met, they too confirmed that no such officers existed.

Jasna at this stage was completely frustrated and wrote to Mayor of London, Boris Johnson and Prime Minister David Cameron. Both men wrote to the Met and both were told, in writing, that no such officers worked for the Met.

The fact is the Prime Minister, the Mayor of London and the IPCC, were mislead and possibly willfully mislead, by the Met DPS about the existence of these two officers.

This begs they very important questions as to precise circumstances that led to two of the most senior Tory politicians in the land were provided with inaccurate and misleading information?

I can confirm in this blog that I have, in my possession, the following evidence:

1. A letter to Jasna Badzak from a third officer at the Met Police’s Directorate for Professional Standards saying that they could not investigate a complaint against officers Galvin and Reardon because they did not exist “the officers you have named as being officers of the MPS are not officers with the MPS. I have throughly interrogated all MPS systems and cannot find any trace of those officers.”

2. An email to Jasna Badzak from the same officer dated 10 Jan, 2013, again repeating that these two officers, do not exist (following her astonished protests of disbelief, since these officers had actually shown up at her house and arrested her).

3. Firm evidence that, in a phone call to Ms. Badzak, a fourth officer – this time of the rank of Inspector, I think it is important to state that – spoke to her about this matter and stated

Insp: “In 2012, I understand you attempted to make a complaint about officers Fleming, Galvin and Reardon… you made a complaint.” Ms. Badzak said she had made a complaint to the Mayor of London and the Prime Minister, who, she said, wrote to Bernard Hogan-Howe, who, she said, passed it further down. The Inspector replied “Yes”. “And I got the reply which I got which said that these police officers do not exist,” Ms. Badzak responded. “Yes,” the Inspector replied. “We made an error, and I apologize for that error.” Ms Badzak exclaimed “You made an error!” The Inspector replied “Yes. They do exist. It wasn’t correct what we told you.” Ms B: “So why did you tell me that, then?” Insp “The officer who made that decision, and told you, is on a career break, he’s not in the country, I can’t ask him why. But it may be that he misread our database. You know – sometimes people make human errors. But the bottom line is we made a mistake, I apologize, we made a mistake.“

Again – Ms Badzak was arrested, November 4th, by a DS in the Major Crimes Unit, Westminster, for “harassment” of Gerard Batten, MEP, for RTing a blog in which these allegations are detailed.

Personally, I believe in transparency. I am absolutely confident of my evidence and I present it here in order that there be as little cover-up going forwards as possible. I am prepared to make my evidence available to the IPCC and other sources.

One officer threatening a journalist

A separate officer in the Major Crimes Squad arresting Ms Badzak for harassment

A third officer from the Directorate of Professional Standards denying the existence of Met Police Officers (twice, and in detail, and emphatically) that Ms. Badzak claims harassed her

A fourth officer of the rank of Inspector telling Ms Badzak that the officer who denied their existence was “on a career break” “out of the country” “I can’t ask him why” “It may be that he misread our database”

Clearly, this matter goes beyond any kind of politics to the very deepest, darkest abuses of our capital’s major police force against a private citizen. I am not an investigative journalist (thankfully, Mr Crick does have those credentials) but I recognize shocking abuse when I see it, and I hope I have enough of a sense of duty not to remain silent when I am confronted with hard evidence of injustice being done.

I can confirm the style of behaviour of Ukip’s MEP Gerard Batten and his apparent collusion with what seems, all too clearly, to be a corrupt element of the police.

Whether the police in question are current or ex members of the BNP or current or past members of Ukip and or other extremist groups is hard to ascertain – due largely to the clandestine nature of those concerned and their lack of transparency.

I am able to confirm the behaviour having been investigated by police named in Jasna Badzak’s case and having been arrested and interviewed under caution on their instruction – based upon the lies or at very least distortions of fact by Gerard Batten.

Hi,

FIRSTLY – Please accept my tardy reprtage of this obscene behaviour by Ukip MEP Gerard Batten in what seems to many, including myself, to be an abuse of his public office and a travesty under law seemingly colluded in by corrupt or at very least crassly irresponsible Police Officers – my delay is due to the fact that both my telephone and broadband access to the internet have both been of line since late Sunday/early Monday until late this afternoon, due to a fault on the BT line due to a break in their very elderly aluminium cable!

May I commend Louise MENSCH and many others for having had the perspicacity to note this obscene abuse of public office by Gerard Batten in breech of his elected position of trust for him to take advantage of his elected office to clearly collude with police of dubious morality to act on his behalf to seemingly abuse the intent of the judiciary yet again relative to anyone – in this case Jasna Badzak.

I am happy to attest that Gerard Batten has lied to mislead the police, whether with their collusion or not I can not say, in order to try to damage me and has also acted corruptly in his carrying out and influence of Ukip Kangaroo Courts having denied an individual appearing before a Ukip internal Court to ensure a defendant was denied the right to have the most basic of right to defend themselves.

Gerard Batten’s abuse of trust and his elected office as a Ukip MEP is and has often been crass, incompetent and beneath contempt. I believe his position is of such a low grade that had Ukip ANY integrity they would demand his resignation as an MEP – howe4ver having extensive experience of the levels of corruption and bullying endemic in Ukip I doubt they have even the understanding of ethics to act with integrity.

First may I suggest that you may wish to note the comment of the professional journalist and commentator Michael CRICK from his Twitter Account CLICK HERE

Former MP Louise Mensch asks Met’s Major Crime Unit why not also charge me for retweeting Lee Jasper’s Sept blog, as they did Jasna Badzak?

To ensure you can make your own judgement of the issue to hand may I suggest you read Lee Jasper’s article in full, you will find the article on the internet at CLICK HERE

My own personal experience of the lack of ethics and self serving self seeking dishonesty and general behaviour, as I have observed, of Gerard Batten leads me to believe that the well known commentator, journalist and broadcaster Lee Jasper’s article is likely to be substantively true and correct.

Please be aware that my support and concern is not JUST for Jasna Badzak in this issue but also for her seriously damaged health, seemingly largely due to the dishonesty, bullying and harrassment she has endured at the hands of Gerard Batten and certain seemingly corrupt police officers and a subourned Judiciary, but my concern is also for my Country and the apparent unsound and untrustworthy state of all too many Politicians, Police and other public servants who seem to believe they have the right to uphold or invent ways to uphold what they perceive to be the law whilst acting partially and in self interest in ignoring many criminal offences to suit themselves.

Allk too often one can all too readily believe the police act as an out of control, over equipped occupying agency acting as enforcers on behalf of causes THEY find profitable at the expense of their role as public servants, again and again being reported or seen to be persecuting some whilst turning a blind eye to the crimes of others and closing ranks to obfuscate and cover-up actions when called to account.

Members of the Ukip leadership team have seemingly been colluding with corrupt members of the Metropolitan Police Service and the Judiciary in high corruption.

Hi,

sadly this is not only all too plausible, but having been subject of Ukip lies and aware of just how dishonest, corrupt and vituperative they can be, I incline to believe the full basis of Lee Jasper‘s reporting of the facts in the case of the abuse of Jasna Badzak.

Ukip are not only unfit for purpose they are a disgrace to the body politic and as self serving and evil as the war criminals Tony Blair & his cabinet and as destructive to Britain as Alex Salmond has been for Scotland – and all in pursuit of their own vain glory and enrichment!

UKIP, the Metropolitan Police Service and high corruption .

Over the past year or so, I have found myself in the rather strange position of supporting a woman, originally a staunch Tory, who defected to UKIP and has now returned, to the Tory party fold.

For me, a black, socialist activist, who is usually to be found defending poor people, facing institutional racism and gross injustice, this was very strange territory, indeed.

In the course our discussions it became apparent to men that Jasna appeared to be the victim of a concerted, organised smear campaign designed to completely discredited her, led by leading members of UKIP.

What makes this case so compelling is their appears to be a strong prime facie evidence, of the existence of a small cell of UKIP supporters, certainly based within the Metropolitan Police Service, maybe within the Crown Prosecution Service and the possibly the Judiciary.

I can’t say for certain what’s going on, but my long experience and professional instinct, tells me that there is something rotten at the core of this peculiar and often bizarre story.

An uncommon friendship.

Jasna Badzak is a former press officer for UKIP. She started work for Nigel Farage and Gerard Batten MEP in November 2010 and around a year ago; she was convicted of defrauding UKIP of some two thousand five hundred pounds in October 2013. Around a year ago Jasna rang me, seeking support for what she claimed, was a miscarriage of justice.

I was intrigued and decided to meet Jasna. I must confess, on one level I was definitely interested in anything that might expose UKIP, a party infested with racists. On the other hand, I was simply curious as to what an ex Ukipper and former, now returned to the fold true blue Tory, could possibly want to see me, of all people, about?

We met on a lovely spring day over coffee. Jasna, arrived, a tall woman with definite sense of fashion. We chatted and she told me a little of her background. She had fled former Yugoslavia as a refugee some 20 years ago. Her family includes Nazi holocaust victims.

She had reached out to me in desperation, hoping that I may be able to see the injustice she had suffered and help her in some way. The stress she was suffering was clearly etched in her face but what struck me was her determination and obvious strength of character. She intrigued me.

Jasna began to tell me her story and what I heard amazed me. As an experienced campaigner, in my time I’ve heard some outlandish conspiracy theories and what I heard that day, would shock me to the core.

A criminal conspiracy.

Jasna believed she was the victim of a possible criminal conspiracy to set her up, orchestrated she suspected by Gerard Batten MEP in an alliance with officers within the Metropolitan Police Service, aided by the Crown Prosecution Service and the Judiciary. I had to ask the obvious question; How is it, she didn’t know that UKIP was a racist party?

Gerad Batten MEP

She told me that when she joined UKIP, she assumed the accusations of racism, were just the overblown claims of a hostile press. However as the months passed she became increasingly concerned. Once she read the draft of Gerard Battens UKIPs Charter for Muslim Understanding, Dismantling Multiculturalism, a rancid and deeply disturbing document, that amongst other things, required all Muslims to be required to sign a code of conduct,

At that point she was left in no doubt about the core beliefs of UKIP and the awful truth dawned on her. From then on, she knew precisely what Gerard Batten was all about and she was rightly appalled and disgusted.

Confronted with claims of racism Farage did nothing

Naively, she began to complain bitterly to Nigel Farage whom she assumed would share her disgust about Batten’s obvious racism. She told me that although Farage was both frustrated and apparently sympathetic, in the end, Farage did nothing.

Jasna told me that Farage had eventually told her, that nothing could be done as he and Batten shared ‘mutually destructive information about each other’, that ultimately meant that Gerard Batten couldn’t be touched.

That would certainly explain why Farage, a politically savvy operator, has long tolerated Batten. Good sense and political expediency suggests he should have been sacked, representing as he does, a distinct and dangerous electoral liability. I suspect that Farage failed to act because he fundamentally shares Battens deeply offensive views.

As a social justice campaigner, I’ve been around long enough to know, that sometimes such claims, can be claims the product of mental health conditions such as deep delusion or depression, paranoia or conspiracy theory fanatics.

Nevertheless, I listened intently to her story and though I was very skeptical of her claims and not entirely sympathetic, given her politics, nevertheless she struck a chord with me.

What I concluded was here was a deeply damaged, credible and sincere woman, whose life has been utterly destroyed, the victim of what appeared to be false and malicious accusation and a concerted smear campaign. Her character, her demeanor and steely determination to prove her innocence and expose UKIP racism and corruption impressed me. I knew what she was taking on in seeking to challenge her perceived injustice.

Going up against UKIP, Farage, Batten and the police, was very brave thing to do. Putting aside my own political prejudice, I decided I should explore her claims further.

What she told me that day blew me away. Transcending party politics, we connected on a human level, as two people who shared a commitment to challenging injustice. Jasna experience in Yugoslavia cemented her hatred of racism and fascism. She knew first hand the dangers of allowing racism and fascism to take root. I did however had to let a wry smile slip, when she told me of her previous role on Boris Johnsons 2008 Mayoral campaign.

Despite my obvious reservations, what was absolutely crystal clear to me was there were several unexplained facts, which gave some credibility to her claims. Whilst at that stage I did not agree with some of her conclusions, I had to agree that something’s just didn’t add up.

Here I must apologies in advance of the length of this article. It’s a complex story and necessarily needs some detailed explaining, but bear with me dear reader, it’ll be worth it.

First, it’s important to understand the sequence of events that preceded and then led up to Jasna’s eventual arrest.

Background.

Jasna started work for UKIP in November 2010 after defecting from the Tories. By the spring of 2011 Jasna discovered, what she describes as the ‘racist and fascist underbelly’ of UKIP. She says that UKIP was producing material she believed, constituted a criminal offense i.e. incitement to racial hatred. She was aware that Gerard Batten was meeting with European extreme right wing racists. She was also concerned at what she described as ‘ monumental EU expenses fraud’ taking place within UKIP.

Here in the UK, she became increasingly aware of Battens association with the now, all but defunct, English Defense League and British National Party. With the evidence mounting Jasna was so concerned that she made a number of official complaints to the Met, citing what she believed, were a range of potentially serious criminal offences.

In March 2011 she formally complained to the Met, that the Charter of Muslim Understanding and Dismantling Multiculturalism taken in concert with Battens association with extreme racist and fascist’s organisation, constituted a clear incitement to racial hatred.

As UKIP press officer, Jasna claims that, over time, her day-to-day work experience proved beyond any doubt that UKIP was both a ‘racist and proto fascist party’. In May that year she provided the police solid evidence that backed up her UKIP EU expenses fraud allegations. That same month she reported another leading member of UKIP for possession of child pornographic images.

Annabelle Fuller

Finally in July 2011 she then provides a devastating witness statement that alleges that UKIP Annabelle Fuller, Nigel Farage’s personal press officer, knowingly made false allegations of sexual attack in relation to Tory MP Andrew Bridgen.

Violent intimidation.

It was then that Jasna and her family then begin to suffer direct violent intimidation. From October 2011 to November 2012 she intermittently endures a series of visits to her home, by random groups of strangers, who threatened her and her son. She believes that this was organised harassment by EDL supporters with whom Batten was meeting seeking an EDL/UKIP alliance.

She reported this intimidation to the Met and was surprised to find out that yet again these complaints were being refereed to a Detective Sargent Shaun Reardon, the very same officer who had failed to investigate her initial complaints of UKIP racism and EU fraud.

Worried about escalating violent intimidation and seeking to cope with her own failing health, Jasna then seeks a restraining order court injunction against Batten in Feb 2012.

Met officer supports UKIP.

Here’s where the begins to get interesting, MPS Detective James Galvin turns up at court, embraces Gerard Batten proceeds to tell the court that the MPS has no record of any allegations against Batten nor were there any current, active police investigation into him. That was a lie and, as the MPS has now admitted Galvin, had no authority to represent the Met or attend court. Her case was eventually dismissed as a result.

Gerard Batten, then formally wrote to the MPS on October 5th 2012 reporting his fraud allegations against Jasna. He actually wrote his allegation on UKIP letterhead, which must constitute and attempt to politically influence the investigation. The Met having failed to investigate any of Jasna serious previous allegations, then acted immediately upon receipt of Battens complaints. .

Jasna was subsequently arrested on 29th November 2011, when surprise, surprise, Detectives Constable James Galvin and Detective Sargent Shaun Reardon both, attended her home. They wanted to arrest her there and then, but she Jasna was so ill, it was decided to take her to hospital instead.

The Met formally denies the existence of two serving police officers misleading the Prime Minister David Cameron.

Subsequent to her eventual arrest and charging, Jasna wrote to the Met Commissioner Bernard Hogan Howe asking, why her many complaints to the MPS had not been investigated? This was in sharp and total contrast to the Mets, swift and immediate response to Battens complaint.

This lead to another key question, why had DC Galvin had turned up at the injunction hearing, defending Batten?

The answer, when it came, was as shocking as it was unexpected. The Mets Department of Professional Standards informed her that the Metropolitan Police Service employed no such named police officers. Shocked and alarmed she persisted and again she was told again that no such officers were employed by the Met.

She then wrote to the Independent Police Compliant Commission who after some time, wrote back, confirming, that after discussions with the Met, they too can confirm that no such officers existed.

Jasna at this stage was completely frustrated and wrote to Mayor of London, Boris Johnson and Prime Minister David Cameron.Both then wrote to the Met and both were told, in writing, that no such officers worked for the Met.

Prime Minister was mislead.

The fact is the Prime Minister, the Mayor of London and the IPCC, were mislead and possibly willfully mislead, by the Met DPS about the existence of these two officers.

This begs they very important questions as to precise circumstances that led to two of the most senior Tory politicians in the land were provided with inaccurate and misleading information?

I then looked at the evidence against Jasna and came to conclusion that the prosecution evidence seemed incredibly flimsy. The only evidence offered was a bank statement, which Jasna is alleged to tampered with, she denied this allegation and points to the timing noted on her on line bank statement that indicated that both statements offered in evidence were printed off within one second of each other.

Evidence produced in court proved that Jasna logged on to her bank account at exactly 8:11:02 and her bank statement was printed 8:11:03 as recorded on her computer and accepted by the police. Did she really amend her own bank statement in one second? Unlikely to say the least.

Jasna has consistently contended that she was the victim of malicious counter complaint by Batten as a result of whistle blowing about UKIP’s racism and EU expenses abuse. Further she told me that the EU always paid late and they never knew from one month to the next, when they would get paid. Batten and UKIP at that time were in the eye of a media storm focusing on the racism of their candidates. As a result UKIP were in utter disarray and an administrative shambles.

She points to this culture of incompetence and confusion by way of explanation. In short, this was an administrative error and as soon she realised she offered to pay the full amount back. This was rejected in favour of prosecution. In addition and hampering her ability to defend herself in the months prior and after her arrest Jasna was recovering from major heart surgery.

Another interesting fact was that her court date was brought forwarded, because the lead investigation Metropolitan Police Officer, Mr. Shaun Reardon’s reported that his father was near imminent death.

This change of date resulted in the case being heard by Recorder Michael Gledhill (Recorder therefore not a fully fledged Judge)

These things happen, you might say, however we were to learn later, that this Recorder had a direct connection to Gerard Batten MEP, which he failed to declare. He should have dismissed himself once he knew the detail of the case was and the identity of the defendant.

It would later transpire that Gledhill has consistently worked as an barrister alongside Gerard Batten’s best friend, the deeply homophobic and Islamaphobic Paul Diamond, on a range cases for the Christian fundamentalists extremist organisation, Christian Concern or Christian Voice, such as the seeking actions to close down the West End musical Jerry Springer: The Opera. Christian Concern is an organization that has an extremely close alliance with UKIP.

Gledhill, during this most extraordinary trial made a series of political and factually incorrect statements and seemed hell bent on securing a conviction.

During the trial, he wrongly alleged that Jasna was a serious criminal wanted in a number of EU states. This was factually incorrect and without foundation. Jasna was a person of good character, without previous convictions or even any minor civil infringements and had been in the past whilst in Yugoslavia,working for the British Foreign Office and had been in possession of highest security clearance.

Gledhill, in an unprecedented outburst for a Recorder, went further and praised UKIPs Charter of Muslim Understanding and Dismantling Multiculturalism that contained proposals to ban the religions of both Islam and Judaism. He described this charter for racism as ‘perfectly reasonable documents anybody would agree with’. These deeply offensive reports were to subsequently appear on the front pages of a range of national newspapers, condemned as racist and echoing fascist politics in both tone and tenor,

This document was rightly condemned by a broad range of national newspapers and was subsequently condemned by all serious British Parliamentarians.

Gledhill also then suggested that Jasna was mentally ill and ordered a psychiatric evaluation (which subsequently proved Jasna was quite sane). With virtually no substantive evidence and under challenge from Jasna’s Counsel, Gledhill refused to dismiss the case.

Then to Jasna’s total surprise, the very same officers who we had previously been told, did not work for the Met, DC James Galvin and DS Shaun Reardon appeared in the Court and testified against the Jasna.

At the trial they said they had no idea why we, the PM, the Mayor and the IPCC had received written confirmation that they were not serving police officers. They produced their warrant cards and Gledhill simply dismissed the matter.

After a three days trial, Gledhill began to sum up to the jury. What happened next proved to be yet another extraordinary twist in this complex tale. Gledhill’s summing up went on went for an incredible two hours, thirty minutes during which he pressed the jury to find Jasna guilty. When printed this summing up ran onto 78 pages of transcript. The jury, after being pummeled into submission by the Recorder found Jasna guilty by majority verdict after 2 days of deliberating.

0n the 7th October 2013 she was given a 1-year suspended jail sentence for 2 years and 4 months, plus an unsupervised curfew order. For a woman with no previous convictions this sentence seems excessively harsh. This gives to rise to the serious question of whether Jasna court date was actually moved to ensure that a judge sympathetic to UKIP would hear the case?

Why did Gledhill not declare a conflict of interest in this case given his strong association with Paul Diamond, Christian Concern and UKIP?

That same day as the verdict was announced, Gawain Towler, UKIP Chief Press Officers feeds inaccurate stories to Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail to further destroy Jasna now battered credibility.

In January 2014 Jasna Badzak then receives a written witness statement from UKIP insider, stating that Batten had been openly boasting, of stitching up Jasna Badzak for fraud in order to destroy her credibility, as well as reporting that Gawain was heard boasting about the coverage the story received. He is reported to have said he was pleased at the reception of the article he had actually wrote in September 2012, almost a year prior to Jasna’s conviction.

The Met finally takes action against suspected officers with links to UKIP.

During the spring of 2014 I start raising questions and highlighting the details of this case. I conducted a long radio interview with Jasna and started tweeting my concerns and my general support for her. Then in March 2014 Jasna is suddenly contacted by Superintendent David R Manning from Charing Cross police station who indicates that they are intending to now act on Jasna earlier complaints, that pre dated Battens fraud allegation and were now reopening a total of five separate UKIP investigations.

The following month both Jasna and I attend Charing Cross Police Station where we are told that the Met now plans to open a formal police investigation in conspiracy to pervert the course of Justice against DC James Galvin, DS Shaun Reardon.

Subsequently we have found out that DC James Galvin appears to be a member of UKIP and has attended UKIP rally. His name is also on leaked BNP list as well as name of his wife At this meeting we gave the MPS additional evidence in relation to a Detective Inspector Fleming and another officer, DC Tony Holden. We had strong witness evidence that both contacted prominent journalists threatening them with arrest if they published any negative stories about UKIP. This group of officers is now being investigated on suspicion of the harassment of journalists, perverting the Course of Justice and there may be a possibility of abuse of office by Recorder Michael Gledhill.

Met police harassment continues despite their assurances.

Then in June 2014, Jasna while at the cardiologist and attached to an ECG, Jasna receives series of emails DS Christopher Page sent to Badzak’s lawyer Atkins ordering her to surrender herself by 10 July 2014 to Charring Cross Police station to answer ‘very serious allegations’. This date also happened to be Jasna’s son’s 16th birthday adding to the family’s harassment and distress.

Later she receives a telephone call from the DS Christopher Page again demanding she come in for interview under caution for the ‘twitter harassment of Gerard Batten’.

Jasna is then called to a meeting with the Mets, Department of Professional Standards with Inspector Fran Polllard and DS Helen Thomas. Superintendent Manning was relived and replaced by these two officers. We are told later that Manning had been moved after Bernard Hogan-Howe received direct orders from MOPAC and Boris Johnson to get to the bottom of this case.

Jasna and Atkins attend police interview under caution with DS Christopher Page. DS Page full of himself reads MIRANDA to Badzak and then hands over to Graham Atkins A4 page note containing following statement:

“Jasna Badzak has been harassing Gerard Batten with false newspaper stories, tweets that he stole £51k with help of Police in January, 09 May 2014 article in Sunday Times saying perverting the course of Justice, tweets about Islamophobia, lies about Batten attending 1st Counter Jihad Conference in Brussels in 2007 and talking to Lee Jasper.”

Jasna solicitor Graham Atkins stunned at the nature of the accusation asks for disclosure. Page refuses saying that is only disclosure he will get. Page asks Jasna about background to Batten’s complaint. Refusing to be intimidated Jasna states for the record

‘UKIP is criminal fascist organization. I stand 100 % behind that and under Article 10 of European Convention of Human Rights incorporated in British law as Human Rights Act 1998 I have a right to freedom of speech and there is nothing you can do about that. You can also not order me to keep quiet or not to tweet. I know you would like to silence me completely, to muzzle me but you can’t despite your telephone threat not to tweet’.

Page then lies, saying that he never ordered Jasna not to tweet about Batten. Fortunately Jasna recorded his telephone call and tells a stunned Page that she has irrefutable evidence that he did order her not to tweet about Batten or talk to me. Page is immediately subject to an investigation

Conclusion.

In summary, I suspect that there may have been an active conspiracy involving members of UKIP, Metropolitan Police Service, possibly the judiciary to falsely criminalise and character assassinate Jasna Badzak. If true this would represent the most serious threat to the very basis of our democracy and law and order.

Should it be that UKIP members or sympathisers in statutory agencies are conspiring together to criminalise, harass and intimidate people UKIP disagree with, then this would require the most urgent intervention from the Home Secretary and the Prime Minister.

Along with the Plebgate revelations of deep systemic corruption within the MPS, this case raises the most profound concerns about the nature and accountability of the Metropolitan Police Service. If Police Officer’s are engaged in targeting moderate political activists from both the left and right, then that has to be an issue of acute concern for us all.

With evidence of the Met spying on families campaigning for justice such as the Stephen Lawrence, Sukedv Reel or Rolan Adams families to name just a few, the Plebgate incident, undercover officers having sexual relations, fathering children in the line of duty alongside rampant institutional racism and the routine abuse of stop and search powers, such allegations if proven, would be so serious as to require the resignation of the Commissioner and Deputy Mayor Stephen Greenhalgh.

We will await the outcome of the Mets internal disciplinary investigations. Such investigations have no real credibility with police investigating themselves and we believe there is strong and compelling case for IPCC to conduct an independent investigation into these matters.

The Met, The Mayor and the Lord Chancellor Office really need to answer the serious questions raised by this incredible tale. Whatever our personal politics, I think we can all agree, this case raises fundamental questions and there is a strong and compelling case to answer.

Nikki Sinclaire, a former UKIP MEP who left the EFD fascist group in the EU Parliament because she disagreed with sitting with fascists and has been very vocal critic of UKIP was arrested in January 2012 and charged 23 July 2014, as soon as she changed lawyer to Graham Atkins.

We believe that arresting officer in this case Officer DC Paul Griffiths may be a member of UKIP.
